There are two new faces on the Ligue 1 Uber Eats assists chart podium after Round 10: Kylian Mbappé and Téji Savanier!

Two days after the Parisian star did his thing, Téji Savanier also distinguished himself by teeing up Stephy Mavididi for the only goal of Montpellier's win over Lens with a beautiful through-pass. Also with four assists, but only two from open play, the MHSC captain is right on Mbappé's heels. The top passer in Ligue 1 Uber Eats with Nîmes Olympique in 2018-19 (13 assists), Savanier has bagged 11 assists in Ligue 1 Uber Eats since his debut with Montpellier in October 2019 - more than any other current MHSC player over the same period.
